Georgia Tech K.I.D.S. Program Registration Available in Mid September

If
you have a kid that loves science, math and technology then you need
to check out Georgia Tech’s K.I.D.S. Club, a program designed to
enhance and encourage curiosity and enthusiasm for science,
mathematics, engineering and technology. Students in grades 2-5 are
invited to join student-centered, hands-on discovery sessions on
Saturday mornings from 9 am to 12 noon. During each meeting, students
will rotate and experience three different hour long activities.

When
does KIDS Club meet?There
will be two unique KIDS Club meetings: a fall meeting and a spring
meeting. The activities at the two fall meetings are identical,
and they are repeated so that more students will be able to
experience these activities. Therefore, choose only one fall
date to attend. The spring meetings are also identical.
